Don Berwick and fellow travelers: “The Affordable Care Act was a major step forward in expanding access to health care in the US.”

The reality: We are not getting any additional health care. One study found that there has been a small uptick in doctor visits by those at the bottom of the income ladder, offset by insignificant changes for the rest of the population. Doctor visits per capita for the country as a whole have actually gone down, and visits to the emergency room haven’t changed.

How the act of “reporting” changed radically in response to Donald Trump.

Why online betting soared after a Supreme Court ruling and why that matters for public health.

For many years, our health care blog was the only free enterprise health policy blog on the internet. Then, when the NCPA closed its doors, the health blog stopped as well.

During this five-year hiatus no one else has come forward to claim the space. So, my colleagues and I have decided to restart the blog in connection with the Goodman Institute. We invite you and others to use this forum to share your views.

John C. Goodman,
